This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
In October 2018 a new toll collection system was introduced to the Nord-
Jæren-area in Rogaland (Stavanger, Sandnes, Randaberg and Sola municipalities). Car owners must pay toll to drive into the city centres of these municipalities. Electric vehicles (hybrids not included) pay 9,20 NOK (reduced rate) road toll, while other cars pay 23 NOK. The money collected from toll roads will pay for various infrastructure projects.

Evidence of success
The start-up of the toll road went well, but was not without problems. Some of the toll roads were sabotaged and were out of use the first few months. The software used for managing the toll roads was not working as intended. The traffic has been reduced after the implementation of toll roads.
Vehicle passings per day (average):
2018, autumn: 209.627
2019, entire year: 207.954
2020, January-August: 183.506 (some of the reduction in 2020 is probably due to Covid-19)
